They got so uptight about moderating content that they seem to have forgotten their actually user value. Instead of focusing on helping users find more relevant content, they’ve decided they must reduce any possible duplicate or overlapping content.

For me, I’ve found most of my issues are complex and nuanced. I want the duplicate content. I want to read 5 posts with slightly different variations of the same issue. They all provide contextual clues and variations that are useful for solving my specific issue. Instead, they all get forced into the same post, resulting in a bunch of absolutely useless junk. Top that with the fact that some information is actually stale, it’s basically impossible to find a solution now.

ChatGPT often gives me solutions that are mostly correct. Even when they’re wrong, they often get me close enough that I can read the docs.
